The entrance shoe cabinet is one of the most common furniture for us. Changing shoes when entering and leaving the house is not only a courtesy but also a respect for the host. The entrance shoe cabinet is also an indispensable part of home design. Let’s explore some key considerations and questions when designing the perfect entrance shoe cabinet.
1. Why should the entrance shoe cabinet be left empty in the middle?
The design of the entrance shoe cabinet should have both practical and decorative functions. The middle of the shoe cabinet can be left empty when the occupant returns home to put bags, keys, mobile phones, change, etc. in the hollow position, or to place simple and elegant decorations in it to show the taste and style of the owner.
2. Is it better to have a slanted or flat partition for the shoe cabinet?
If the partition of the shoe cabinet is placed at an angle, then a depth of 28cm to 30cm is enough. However, it is not suitable for placing high heels and thick shoes at an angle, and it is easy to cause the placed shoes to deform. If it is placed flat, the depth should be 30cm to 32cm, which can be determined according to the situation of personal shoes.
3. What is the height of the shelf of the shoe cabinet?
The height between the shelves of the shoe cabinet is usually set at 15cm. You can add more movable shelves between the two shelves, so that the spacing can be adjusted according to the height of the shoes.
4. How long should the shoe cabinet be?
The length of an ordinary shoe cabinet is generally 2-3 pairs of shoes per layer, and the customized ones will be longer. The data should be measured in advance during the design to avoid the area that is only enough for half a pair. Such a design is unreasonable and wastes space.
5. How many types of shoe cabinets are there at the entrance?
Wall-mounted: Usually the low shoe cabinet is against the wall next to the door, which is convenient for putting the items on the cabinet surface and changing shoes when you go home, which is more practical.
Partition cabinet: Place the shoe cabinet horizontally between the living room and the dining room, so that the shoe cabinet becomes a partition between the living room and the dining room, and also serves as a shoe cabinet, with two uses.
Entryway cabinet: It refers to the wall position opposite the door. Decorative paintings or decorations can be placed above the shoe cabinet, which is very beautiful.
